Chapter 1 from the Together Small Group booklet
Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. (1 John 4:7)
Understanding that we are all made in the image of God is foundational for understanding how we should interact with each other.
Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them (Genesis 1:26-27; see also Genesis 5:1-2). Every human being is made in the image of God. Because of this, we have a responsibility to identify with and connect with all people, whether believers or nonbelievers, as those who bear this same image. This also means that we recognize that every human is worthy of dignity and respect.
Our need for belonging is a direct reflection of God, who is understood to be triune: three distinct Persons, one substance, in eternal relationship with one another. It is from these fundamental relationships at the heart of God that love is generated, and from love, all creation bursts forth. If God is fundamentally an interconnected Being, then it follows that those made in the image and likeness of God are also fundamentally designed for such relationships. Being a disciple of Jesus Christ is an invitation into this trinitarian way of living, loving, and relating – a life in absolute relatedness.
